COMBINED BILL-HOLDER AND COIN-PURSE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 27, 1910.

Application filed December 18, 1909. Serial No; 533,971.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL O. SNYDER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Muncy, in the county of Lycoming and State of Pennsylvania,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CombinedBill-Holders and Coin-Purses, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates especially to devices employed for carrying moneyWithin the pocket, and has for its object the provision of a simplecombined bill-holder and coin purse wherein means are provided forretaining the bills in a flat condition, separate from the coin.

To attain the desired end, my invention consists in certain novel anduseful combinations or arrangements of parts, and peculiarities ofconstruction and operation, all of which will be hereinafter first dulydescribed, and then pointed out in the claims.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a plan view of a device embodying myinvention, the billholder being opened. Fig. 2 is a side elevation ofthe device with the parts folded together. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal,sectional view at line aa of Fig. 1. Fig. 4c is an enlarged detail viewof one end of the device, as in Fig. 3, showing the spring bill clip asraised.

Similar numerals of reference, wherever they occur, indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

1 and 2 is the back or outside portion of the device, constituting thecoin-holder, made of leather, or any other approved material which maybe easily folded. 3 is a metal rim secured to the turned over edge ofthe parts 1, and 4c is a similar rim secured to the part 2, the twoportions of the rim being hinged together at 5. The space inclosed bythe rim 3 has a back piece 6 of leather, or the equivalent, which formsthe fixed top of the coin-holder 1, and said space also constitutes onehalf of the bill-holder. Carried by the pintle of the hinge 5 is amovable frame 7 closed by a piece of leather 8.

9 are spring clips movably held at the ends of the parts 3 and 7, andadapted to hold bills securely and smoothly in place within thebill-holder. 10 is a clasp for holding the device in a closed condition.

In use, when it is desired to place coin in the holder, or remove ittherefrom, the part 7 is raised, and when the purse is folded, as inFig. 2, the coin will be retained against possibility of escape. Toplace bills within the holder, the clips are raised, the bills smoothedout over the parts 6 and 8, and

then the clips are dropped to the positions shown in Figs. 1 and 3 ofthe drawing, firmly holding the bills in place, while permitting easyremoval thereof. When the parts are folded together, the frame 7 passesinto the frame 3 around the part 6.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new therein,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A combined bill-holder and coin purse, in which is comprised a folderfor bills hinged at its center, spring mechanism for securing bills ateach extremity within the folder, and a coin receptacle secured to therear of the folder, substantially as shown and described.

2. A device of the character herein specified in which is comprised ahinged frame carrying a coin holder, 2. bill holder at the front of thecoin holder one part whereof is hinged to the pintle 5 of the hingedframe, a rim surrounding the bill holder the movable portion of'the billholder being arranged to fold therein, and spring means for securingbills at each eXtremity,Within the bill holder.

In testimony whereof I hereto aflix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

DANIEL O. SNYDER.
